DMC007

My sons entered and will be competing as a Team for their school. Has the cycle route been annouced?

Geez! Where are the TT bikes...

...and to think this is how they cycle in Thailand (lol).

Those Kriekets drived me insane...they were there day n night at 3 race villages.

Some dude crashed his rear wheel and bought one at the sram tech zone water point for 6k. Apparently the same wheel sells for not more than 3k locally. Kinda like take it or leave it....dont take it and you out of the race.

Here's the profile of the Road Race....

Great Win Cavendish!!!

Is there a Link as to where you guys are watching this Online "Dale"

I agree with "DJR". Besides I cannot tell the difference between the "Esmero Kit" and MCC when out cycling. Wear your Kit proudly and be safe out there 2mrw.

The incident that took place on Sunday has really increased an already tense situation between cyclist and motorist. Me and my Boys went for a cycle late yesterday aftern in and around the Rondebosch area. Almost every motorist and passing pedestrians look at us as if we "mobs". We could even sense some fear in their eyes (lol)...as if, "Hey stay away from those cyclist before we get a beating"

Thank goodness it was not a cyclist (again...)

Ai !! ...its on Facebook already.

What time was that? I would have expected the roads/argus route to be filled with cyclist today.

Any updates on what transpired this aftern at the Crit. Heard there was a crash and something about cancellation....

Results is up on Racetec.....

Great work Wayne...

The length of Tennant Street is only 350m until you take the next left turn into Constitution Street which is also a slight uphill drag of 450m long. Thereafter its your descend with a few mild bends until the left turn into Keizergracht Str......this straight portion is going to be blitz FAST.
